(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhyrwBIbxq
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjcd6w8fM9
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibiKQ39Djf
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5BIf4KOoC
Lord Preen: Æther, dear friend, a marvel of our age! A force harnessed from the celestial heavens, powering our contraptions with the might of suspensium and the very essence of the skies.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAtqs10dkh
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxjem8lFpD
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbEcF66cyu
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtKABQJeKC
Lord Preen: Aye, the Adapetus Æther is nothing like his predecessor, the Mechanical. He's plagued by paranoia and nervously tinkers with this new Æther technology.

(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVRFC3tI9
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1FN1QI30T
Lord Preen: (Observant) Indeed, these wings seem to have a curious connection to Æther-powered devices. Perhaps we should find the Adapetus Æther for an explanation.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Cf6nqur5
Lord Preen: "Hark, the pursuit of another Adapetus, my dear! Were I bestowed a farthing for each such endeavour, I would rival the entire fortune of Narciss.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHgnkaJX7P
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD886nLUAhC
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
